Well, Landmark Theaters just opened (Jan 2004) the “E Street Cinema” on E St. between 10th and 11th in DC. I’ve been there once (it’s very, very nice) but I don’t know if one of the auditoriums is in fact dedicated to the Biograph.

I’ve been to the Biograph many, many times. One of the oddities of it was that when you bought your ticket, you were given an old metal token (NY subway-style) and you used it to get through a turnstile into the theater! When it closed they sold all their old vintage one-sheets and my husband bought the one for “Bullitt”, which we had framed. Towards the end they were showing porn (video projected, but projected nonetheless) during the day, I guess for extra income. It seems even porn lovers can be purists and theater lovers! There’s nothing like seeing a movie in a theater. There’s no repertory theaters anymore in this area, so we really miss the Biograph. Nearby the Key in Georgetown was also an art/repertory place, but it died too.
